The many manifestations of health problems like neurotic, personality, psychotic and non-psychotic mental disorders is now one of the leading causes of death globally.(1) Mental disorders also account for a significant percentage of the non-fatal burden of disease.
This is my personal story and experience of bipolar disorder(BPD).

The main treatments for post-traumaticstressdisorder (PTSD) are psychotherapy and medication.
Traumatic events can be very difficult to come to terms with, but confronting your feelings and seeking professional help is often the only way of effectively treating PTSD.
It is possible for PTSD to be successfully treated many years after the traumatic event occurred, which means it is never too late to seek help.

I'd almost rather the Ribba - at least I could stay up to post once in a while. It's been a bad post experience for me - so many chronic illnesses - the fibro with the leg pain and now the horrible fatigue..guess since my chryoglobins are negative it isn't true CFS but it sure is a close cousin. My doc finally gave me Consorta and I have gotten some relief.

However, if you are under severe stress it is helpful to reduce the stress as much as possible. Consider meditation or relaxation as a way to cut back on any major stress in your life. Your hair will love your for it.
Another secret hair helper is rest and sleep. It has been discovered that to grow faster, hair needs an adequate amount of sleep (7-9 hours are suggested).

Low cortisol levels have been observed in patients with different stress-related disorders such as Panic/Anxiety Disorders, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Post-TraumaticStressDisorder. Low cortisol leads to enhanced stress sensitivity, pain and fatigue.
I also have primary hypothyroidism, which I suspected all along, but it took a full review of my medical charts to see the escalating trend in my TSH levels.

My diagnosis is post-traumaticstressdisorder. I see a therapist who specializes in PTSD, and I've read tons of books and journal articles on the subject. I wouldn't say that you have "brain damage" per se. But growing up in a neglectful / abusive environment most definitely affects how your brain develops. The actual neurons of the brain get wired in a particular way to "adapt" to the childhood environment. The good news is that you can "rewire" the brain.

The great thing is that it's been published in the Public Library of Science online journal. This is a place where the data and paper are publicly available, without any advertising or corporate support.
Reasons to think twice about the results of this study, is that the technique of meta-analysis is only as good as how well the 47 different data sets they've combined match. These data sets have to be combined in a valid way, controlling for different factors in each study.

I've also started working with a holistic therapist, who believes that my lifelong 'general anxiety' is post-traumatic-stress-disorder due to a traumatic event I experiened early in my life. She's fantastic and has connected so many pieces of the puzzle of my life together into one basket. She plans on using the EMDR technique to help me reduce my overall anxiety level, which she believes causes me to stress out more easily than most people, thereby causing the adrenal fatigue.

Additional reports have demonstrated subcutaneous soft tissue foreign bodies from splinters to bullet fragments found years after the traumatic event.
Patients with glass embedded in a wound are more likely to report the sensation of foreign bodies. Unrecognized bronchial foreign bodies cause irreversible changes in the airways. Some foreign bodies may move from the throat into the bronchial branches. This can cause the patient to cough, but the foreign body remains trapped in the lung.

Our dear friend Wonko found this on a lyme disease forum and kindly sent it to me. There was no attribution as to who wrote it ...
I'm sure you can appreciate this new problem with doctors.

Epidemic of Disorders in Doctors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The emergence of Medically Unexplained Illnesses has revealed an epidemic of behavioral problems and personality disorders in doctors.

I searched for cervical stenosis/dysautonomia on PubMed and turned up 4 medical journalarticles, none of which seemed to actually be related to your question. If there is a link, I don't think anyone has researched it or done a case study on it yet. Sorry I couldn't find anything more helpful.

26 years of having to work from home because of an illness they couldnt pick up but put down to posttraumaticstressdisorder?
I also experienced 3 episodes of thyroid storm in 2 weeks causing atrial fibrillation and on the 3rd episode , I had to have paddles put on to correct the rythm of the heart and give it a normal heartbeat.
Have I had this since RAI and TT of the thyroid?
NO....not once.

My concern with the hair loss is not that it's not growing back (and it's not, as I have kept a photo diary), but that it falls out in handfuls all the time. I know stress can trigger this, extreme stress...but I have been through extreme stress before and it didn't affect my hair like this.
Perhaps the Synthroid triggered something in my body - an autoimmune response - and it has thrown my system off.

This is because when your body is under stress eg new infections it needs to manufacture cortisol. If your body doesn't do that but relies on HC tablets then by tapering you are denying the body what it needs to heal itself. AND if you have say a cold which doesn't get better SOON then by all means advise the endo.

The more research I do, the more I worry and question everything. I also think the ER visit was traumatic because now I find myself feeling lightheaded when I see blood etc... so weird because it never bothered me and I am in the medical field. I also notice every little thing on my body that I never noticed before... I don't know how much of what I'm feeling is anxiety? I also have pretty bad tmj, so I am used to constant headaches etc...

We are expected to bring up a family with little support, the cost of living is huge and children are subjected to bullying before they even start life. My grandson for example has posttraumatic stress syndrome after enduring 3 years of bullying at school, started to cut himself and constantly talked about suicide. My daughter has M.E. I wonder why.
Stress at work.
